Why the 0.5, and not just go straight to max 1.0 without question? Is 0.5 generally "enough" for most people, unless unusual damage?

I've been using the .5 for a few years. The 1.0 can dry your skin out a bit if you are not accustomed to the higher strength.

Retinol is very potent and can cause irritation and peeling in many new users. I would reccommend starting on the .5 to see how you skin tolerates it. Begin by applying it 2-3 nights a week and graduately increase your usage over the course of a few weeks. Eventually the goal is to be able to apply it every night. Listen to your skin! If you have peeling and redness pull back on how often you're using it.

That is a very broad question. Everyone has different sensitivity. I can personally say I bought the .5 instead of 1.0 because I read it is best to work up to 1.0 because it is powerful. If you don't have sensitive skin then try 1.0. I did what was best for me when I purchased it. When I run out of .5 May up it to 1.0.

I would definitely start with .5 because after almost a year I still peel with it. I couldn't imagine using the 1.

The .05 was recommended by my esthetician. I use it every other day. When I first started, my skin peeled in some areas, but after using for a few weeks, it didn't happen anymore. I would start with the .05 & if it doesn't seem like enough, try using everyday. Less is more. :)

Retinol is strong, so it is recommended to start with the .5 and build up to the 1.0

It is 1.5 HP. 1-0.5 is just another way of expressing the same number, just as is 1-1/2.

Is the 5 there when you zero it? Mine has the 5 too, but only when the measurement is between tenths which is quite often as that is a very small amount and the device is very sensitive. It means 5/100 of a degree or 1.05 for 1 and 5/100 of a degree. The specs say its resolution is 0.05 degrees. So it would not measure 0.04 or 0.06, just increments 0.05.

I'm having difficulty recalling as I use mine only at 0 deg. --- but it seems as if the choices were indeed only 0 and 90. EDIT: based upon consensus, I'm guessing that my previous comment is not correct!

I cannot give you a definitive answer, but I can tell you I have been trying to use a 4 w/o success. I happened upon this discussion while researching 2.0' s. It seems to be all that works.

Hey, I never tried more than 25 till now....but I guess there is no limit as such..Product didn't crash for me yet..I actually never used it much..very few times

I would say it is fine. Just start at a lower setting and see what you can tolerate. It gives directions how to increase and figure out the right setting for you.

Sorry, this is the first time I have ever heard of this. It says 1.0B in very fine print.

I dot see why not just don't shoot it wide open. It'll be a tough focus pull and it's not very sharp at 1.5.

I believe they recommend 75, my experience is that 95-100 was the best operating range, seemed to drive the nail in just below the 2x surface

I am not sure if you are asking how low can you go as in is there lower then 1.8, BUT aperture can go as low as 1.2 which is EXPENSIVE. 1.8 is just fine if you are thinking cost effectiveness.

I believe 1.5 is correct. I threw the box away after a few days knowing I am happy with it.

I went out and got a 700, just to be safe. Runs like a champ on that. ^00 might be borderline. I wouldn't go any lower than that.

If you want to use 2.0 then I would buy one that is 2.0 and save a few dollars. This is faster and I would use 3.0 and get the better speeds, myself.

Not sure what your project is, but for me a 1.0gl / 100psi was all I needed for mine. Nothing bigger and nothing extra.

The one I got in Dec 2013 is 1.0 :-(, but it was on sale so maybe they cleared out the old ones, not sure how much a difference it makes as the 1.0 one ROCKS!

Not really.. "low" is still kinda warp factor 7 on this one. The higher speeds only increase a tiny bit from there.
